NEWS NOTES and SPINS – DECEMBER 1 2013

(December 1, 2013) Happy holidaze. November was a crazy month. Lots of news, and a big job opp for the right dj in Denver (see below for that).

I attended the Denver Music Summit and spent a couple of days listening to what several regional and national level independent music industry professionals had to say about the state-of-the-industry around the country – and within that there was a strong undercurrent that there’s something very special taking place in Colorado, and that 2014 will be a special year – Colorado beer, booze, budz, and bands anyone?

Here’s a common question I get: “is ________ a good month to send radio and print a new cd?” – the answer is, remarkably, YES. Every month is a good month to send out new music, because by the time you send it, they receive it, listen to it, and get around to either writing about it or airing it, it can be days, if not a few weeks. That said – going out in December – Spokes Buzz Vol. IV – featuring some of Northern Colorado’s top acts – including the likes of Grant Farm, Maxwell Hughes, and The Yawpers among the dozen on the disc.

NOVEMBER HEADLINES

The Swayback‘s “Double Four Time,” will be re-released worldwide on Self Made Records, a Nottingham, England-based label with distribution through RED, sometime next year. The band will be heading to the U.K. for a tour in support of the release.

Coloradoans ONEREPUBLIC announced they’ll be part of the Teenage Cancer Trust Concert, March 27, 2014 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

The Colorado Music Hall of Fame is moving out of their temporary home at the 1^st Bank Center in Broomfield and moving into the Trading Post at Red Rocks.

Judy Collins, Bob Lind, Serendipity Singers, and Chris Daniels were all inducted as members of the Class of 2013 into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.

Caught a post from Sean Kelly (the Samples) …he’s got Richie Furay sitting in on some vocals on a cut for the new Samples record due out mid-winter. Chris Daniels is doing the same thing by having Freddi Gowdy of the Freddi Henchi Band on the Kings next record .. celebrating Chris Daniels and the King’s 30th Anniversary.

The Colorado Sound S7 EP42 Nov 2013

Friday night was a special event. As you might know, unless I’m working a show, Miss Pattie and I rarely actually go out. I traded out a sound gig this weekend to attend the benefit for Love Hope Strength. Love Hope Strength is a local Colorado / Denver based non-profit, that seeks to provide diagnostics and treatment for cancer worldwide by promoting their work and engaging participants at concerts globally.

From their mission statement: At Love Hope Strength we turn concerts into lifesaving events. Through our GET ON THE LIST campaign we register marrow donors resulting in matches from concerts around the world. Through unique events, like Everest Rocks and Kilimanjaro Rocks, we build cancer centers, giving people access to early detection and quality cancer care. More info at http://www.lovehopestrength.org

The concert to benefit Love Hope Strength was stimulating, engaging, funny, warm, and musically splendid. Where, as they mentioned, they might get 50 people signed up at a Red Rocks show, 5o of those among the 300+ who were on hand Friday night got ON THE LIST.

On stage guests included project founder/executive producer Megan Burtt with friends Chris Daniels, John Magnie, Reed Foehl and Tyler Depres (Science Partner) with members of the Congress, SHEL, Bop Skizzum, Chimney Choir, Rachel & the Kings, the Epilogues, and Covenhoven. Audience “guests” were too numerous to mention – and the room did look to be sold out with standing room only by show time.

A note about this and other shows (the few) I’ve been too at the Soiled Dove Underground — show began promptly at 8, there was an intermission at about 8:50, and the second act ended at 1030, allowing plenty of time to mingle with the band and pony up to the merch table. My wife and I were out of there before 1130, a real treat for a local show.

Radio stations and print media around the state will have the LOVE HOPE STRENGTH benefit compilation IN GOOD COMPANY within the next week. Also coming to radio via Rocky Mountain Music Network = Estes Park artist Brad Fitch record Columbine Blue. Brad looks uncannily like John Denver (he does a John Denver tribute show) – so much so that even a limo driver used to ferrying luminaries got a bit whigged out when he met Brad, and who reportedly remarked, “John Denver is dead, right?”

Some radio news to report this week. KVNF Mountain Grown Community Radio seeks a weekday morning host for NPR’s Morning Edition and Regional News from KVNF. This person will serve as the primary voice for KVNF’s regional news coverage. As such, the ideal candidate has a strong voice and professional news delivery that fits into both NPR and KVNF’s programming and journalistic philosophies. This position will be part-time, contract labor, 12-20 hours per week. Hours will be 6-8:30 AM weekdays. More details at http://kvnf.org/post/kvnf-hiring-morning-news-host

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK:

I discover “new” bands every single day of the week, either because they send me cds, or links, or I discover them accidentally. I don’t know how I discovered Anchorage … but at least the name resonated with me since I lived there as a kid for 7 years. New music this week:

NEWS NOTES and SPINS – NOVEMBER 1 2013

Brain freeze: seriously. Time to just put the facts out there. We did pretty good in October for listenership and readership here at The Colorado Sound. October listenership at The Colorado Sound Live365 was up significantly over September, rockin’ in some 450 unique streams for about a 14.5 per day average. This site here managed to eek out 43 unique page views per day over the month (2013 avg is 51 views per day). In October two days broke single day listening records at 47 (new Saturday record) and 34 (new Friday record) respectively… Next goal is to break 25 streams per day avg – and a monthly daily average of 60 here.

Coming up sooner than we think -> end of year best of polls. Time now to catch up with your favorites over the past year. We’ll get that going in about five weeks.

STATION NEWS

KRCC is looking for a Morning Edition host in Colorado Springs. The job posted 10/22 and you only have until Tuesday 11/5 to respond. https://employment.coloradocollege.edu/postings/1275

Required Qualifications: Associates degree in Communications or Broadcasting or three years related broadcast experience. Working knowledge of a radio studio and broadcast automation systems. Professional voice skills and ability to conduct interviews. Skilled in fundraising for nonprofit organizations. Basic office/computer skills and working knowledge of social media. Able to arrive at work at 5:30 a.m. weekdays and meet the physical demands of the position.

Preferred Qualifications: Advanced degree in Communications or Broadcasting. Five years on air broadcast experience. Audio production skills including recording, editing, etc. Proficient using MS Office and FileMaker Pro. Experience working at a nonprofit organization.

Fan of KUNC Music, heard weekdays from 9 AM-2 PM, and KUNC Music After Hours (weeknights 9 PM- midnight), can now enjoy KUNC Music 24 hours a day, thanks to KUNC Music 247, a new 24-hour music stream launched in September.

The new stream provides an option for listeners who opt for music over Morning Edition, All Things Considered, or the other Public Radio Favorites broadcast over KUNC’s FM signal.

KUNC Music features new releases alongside established, quality artists that reflect Colorado’s unique lifestyle. “Classic artists like Bob Dylan, Joan Armatrading, and the Subdudes have loads of great songs, but they’ve been mostly abandoned by commercial rock formats” says KUNC Music Director Benji McPhail. “KUNC Music plays those artists alongside newer artists like Arcade Fire, Jason Isbell, and Neko Case. You’ll also hear the occasional Sinatra classic, local favorites like Jeff Brinkman, some vintage soul, blues and more. It’s a one of a kind listening experience.”

The stream is available at KUNC.org/247, as well as the station’s mobile apps.

Got this off Facebook this evening. Always happy to introduce another great Colorado music program to the listening public. “Hey all you KGNUnits! We will be creating a new program called Local Gold on KGNU’s new all music stream, After FM. It will exclusively feature Colorado made music. What Rocky Mountain musical acts would you like to hear on Local Gold?”

VIDEO PICKS FOR OCTOBER:

I think I may have figured out this YouTube thing LOL… we’ll see. This month’s video’s feature a live shot of Danny Shafer at a flood relief show that’s pretty special, along with the latest from the Fray, Tennis, the Lumineers, Star Jaguar and others… eight videos this month… so about 35 mins? Better than any half hour episode on tv 😉
